I fish from a Lowe Jon Boat. The 1232 to be exact. Great platform for the type of waters I explore. I use a 46 pound thrust electric connected via jumper cables to a deep cycle battery that I keep on the port side just aft of the forward seat. The weight distribution help even out the keel and pitch because I sit a little to the starboard of the rear seat. It's a dry platform, sits me up out of the water and is an easy launch and load to or from a pick-up or trailer. It does however, weigh about 90 pounds, but has two hands on the stern and one handle on the bow. Empty, it's really quite easy to muscle around. Here's a link;

It trolls very easily, and rows even better. Here is a picture of it on my trailer on the way to a fishing/camping trip.
